I am working on a proposal for changes to dpkg/dinstall that will take ABI dependencies into consideration. These changes will allow people such as yourself to start new `ports' to a different ABI, while reusing the existing packages as much as possible. I don't know anything about the rest of the issues you bring up, though. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
